Welcome back - I hope everyone had a great half term!

We have been working hard on our reading comprehension skills over the past few weeks and this week we had a longer text to read. We read it to ourselves and then re-read it again with our talk partners to help take in the information and so we could help each other with tricky words.

This week we have begun work on our new text for this term - after some careful thinking and looking at some clues we know we are reading a story set in India and have started to explore what we think about some of the characters and plot. We have also been working on our describing language based on some of the images..

With our talk partners we also thought about what we know about India and what we would like to know.  

In Maths we have been thinking about finding half ( 1/2 ) of a shape or number. Here are some examples of Year 1 checking halves of quantities.

Due Thursday 13th June 

Year 1 - your task this week is to practice finding half, split and colour each shape into 2 equal parts.

Year 2 - you have some practice using different types of nouns this week - remember that proper nouns always need capital letters! 

Both tasks are stuck into home learning books - please see me if you need any help with this.
